Famous writing quotes

While I was writing my novel 'Earworm', I read quite a few books about writing and kept an eye out for inspiring quotes from famous authors and writers. They include Stephen King, Shakespeare, Truman Capote, Peter Cook and Christopher Isherwood among others.

I've packaged up a selection of my favourite famous quotes about writing in this widget, which I coded in Javascript. Click the refresh button in the top right to see another randomly chosen quote and pop back to this web page any time you're feeling uninspired.

I've put this widget on my home page for writing and journalism tips too, to incorporate the content with the rest of the site.
